At East Millsboro, we have worked to strengthen our Professional Learning Communities in order to meet the needs of all students.

PLC's are focused on data through a Data Process approach where common assessments are scored together as grade-level teams. This ensures that all students are assessed and scored with the same criteria and expectations as other students within the grade-level. Teachers are seen collaborating to analyze the data in order to make informed instructional decisions that meet the needs of all learners, helping all students to learn and grow. The data is then used to plan for the "Re-Teach" opportunities, allowing for the needs of students to be addressed whether the students are on, above, or below grade-level.

The "Big Ideas" of this approach to data analysis is having a focus on learning as well as a collaborative culture among teachers where all teachers are focused on results. This approach has helped move teachers from being isolated within their own classroom to a community of collaborative learners, planning and working together for the benefit of all students.
